I have to admit I'm not too impressed with Yellow Submarine as a cartoon movie(excluding the music) which I saw for the first time back in 72 since Bugs Bunny & Daffy Duck are much better personally speaking but it cracks me up to think that hippies got stoned in theaters back in 68 when it was first released.

I just spotted one of the Bots reading this thread and I happened to stumble across this! Made me larf

I love this movie. It has sentimental value to me too. I was obsessed with it as a kid. I even taped it on little audio cassettes. No VCR yet. We'd sit there listening to it on my little tape recorder. Then we'd interview each other as Beatles. But beyond the memories, I still love to watch it. It's timeless. Even the kids these days, as sophisticated as they are, love it. Like I said one other time, I showed it to my students and when it was over they thanked me. Now they sing along to every song and talk through the whole thing telling each other what's gonna happen.

Is Yellow Submarine available on DVD in the UK? If so what goodies are on it - it's been a long time since I saw it but I have a large animation collection and I love the Beatles - so I guess it's time I added it to my collection!

Yes - it has been digitally remastered and the soundtrack remixed into 5.1 surround sound - plus Hey Bulldog has finally been re-added! Definitely worth buying!

Does anyone know where I can buy Yellow Submarine in the states? I've looked everywhere! My fiance wanted to get it for me for Christmas a few years ago but the only copy he could find would have had to be imported from Japan, and we weren't sure if the format would be correct. It is my absolute favorite movie of all times - the Beatles are my life! If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Meh. Not a big fan of the movie I'm afraid. Especially as the Beatles' voices aren't even used in it. It was just way for them to fulfill their contract.

The album however is worth a listen especially for those of us who dig Hey Bulldog. The orchestrations are also just the thing to have a chill out session with. (I'm talking of course about the original release not the Songbook).

I agree ... and I enjoy the orchestation side too ... spicealley after reading this interview with Sir George:

I know! Frustrating. Perhaps they're planning a new release on their Super Secret schedule?
